Representative Text

1 If you have a hope in Jesus,
Tho’ that hope be e’er so small,
Years, perhaps, you have concealed it,
Heeding not the Savior’s call.

Refrain:
Oh, to have a hope in Jesus!
’Tis more precious far than gold;
Come, proclaim it for His glory,
Let the world this pearl behold.

2 Wait not for your friends or loved ones,
Waiting never can be blest;
Cast on Jesus all your burdens,
Trust Him freely for the rest. [Refrain]

3 Did your hope come unexpected,
Not just what you thought ’twould be?
Be not by your doubts affrighted;
Jesus says Come unto Me. [Refrain]

4 Come, ye weary, heavy laden,
I will surely give you rest.
Think not then your load will lighten
While you will not Him confess. [Refrain]
